Answer:

No, because beta particles move faster and can penetrate into the human body more easily.

Explanation:

Some beta particles are capable of penetrating the skin and causing damage such as skin burns. However, as with alpha-emitters, beta-emitters are most hazardous when they are inhaled or swallowed.

Two wires A and B with circular cross-section are made of the same metal and have equal lengths, but the resistance of wire A is

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material of wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire = πr²

r = radius of wire

Therefore,

R = ρL/πr²

FOR WIRE A:

R₁ = ρ₁L₁/πr₁² -------- equation 1

FOR WIRE B:

R₂ = ρ₂L₂/πr₂² -------- equation 2

It is given that resistance of wire A is four times greater than the resistance of wire B.

R₁ = 4 R₂

using values from equation 1 and equation 2:

ρ₁L₁/πr₁² = 4ρ₂L₂/πr₂²

since, the material and length of both wires are same.

ρ₁ = ρ₂ = ρ

L₁ = L₂ = L

Therefore,

ρL/πr₁² = 4ρL/πr₂²

1/r₁² = 4/r₂²

r₁²/r₂² = 1/4

taking square root on both sides:

r₁/r₂ = 1/2 = 0.5

The volume occupied by a sample of gas is 480 mL when the pressure is 115 kPa.What pressure must be applied to the gas to make i

balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law to find the final pressure

That's

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the final pressure

$P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}$

From the question

P1 = 115 kPa

V1 = 480 mL

V2 = 650 ml

So we have

$P_2 = \frac{115000 \times 480}{650} = \frac{55200000}{650} \\ = 84923.076923...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Brainliest please help tell me if am right if not correct me please

REY [17]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

$v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t$

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

First case

Vf = 6 [m/s]

Vo = 2 [m/s]

t = 2 [s]

$6=2+a*2\\4=2*a\\a=2[m/s^{2} ]$

Second case

Vf = 25 [m/s]

Vo = 5 [m/s]

a = 2 [m/s²]

$25=5+2*t\\t = 10 [s]$

Third case

Vo =4 [m/s]

a = 10 [m/s²]

t = 2 [s]

$v_{f}=4+10*2\\v_{f}=24 [m/s]$

Fourth Case

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

$v_{f}=5+8*10\\v_{f}=85 [m/s]$

Fifth case

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

$8=v_{o}+4*2\\v_{0}=8-8\\v_{o}=0$
